The King's Obsession

C36 - Dressing or undressing

Lisa tried to move away, and if possible, she wanted to run far away from him. Still, with his hands on her waist and his face next to her, it made it hard for her to step away from him, "Now, how about we get you dressed unless you have plans to undress," when he finally let go of her waist, Lisa could feel the soul that had slipped out of her body return.

He then started to pull the laces behind her corset, and each pull testing her hold on the bedpost.

"How do you know how to dress a woman?" asked Lisa, praying that his eyes were not looking at the back of her body. The upper part was covered in the corset, but the lower half was covered in the petticoat, covering her bottom and legs which was made of thin material.

"I don't. I have removed plenty dresses, so I am guessing it is the reverse of it," he left the detail that it wasn't often in order that was worn, after all, who had the time to remove every single piece of cloth the women wore, "If we get it wrong, we can start from scratch to see what works."

Lisa turned her head to the side, her eyes staring at the painting on the wall, "I thought your time was scarce."

"My time is scarce for only things that are pointless and are of no use to me. But you, my dear, have all my time," Lisa thought this was no boon but curse that had fallen upon her. She was filled with shame that a man was dressing her all alone in a room, "Your corset is done," he said, picking up the skirt and having it spread around her front.

"Why are you doing this?" she asked him, "I am a simple girl who wants a simple life."

"Looks like you have a very forgetful memory, Lisa. I want you."

"You cannot have me!" she whispered, her hands clutching at her sides.

Jungkook smiled at her stubbornness, "You haven't opened your heart to me."

Lisa had turned around to look at him now, "What makes you think a girl who has been forced against her wishes will open her heart. Especially when the heart belongs to som-"

"Shh," Jungkook had stepped forward to place his finger on her lips, "So brave. What did I say of being careful with what you speak? If you were alone in the ballroom without dancing with a partner, then I think your heart is still here," he looked down at her trembling lips that were parted, and he couldn't help himself but move his finger to feel the softness, "Don't tantalize me with your words else I will take you to bed. Is that what you want?" he challenged her, and Lisa couldn't get a word out of her lips.

"Raise your arms while I am still patient," he offered a smile as if he hadn't intimidated her by his words, "Good girl," he said when she did, and Lisa glared into his red eyes as she held back her tongue.

As he had said, he did dress her, and she had tied her hair herself so that he wouldn't find more opportunities to touch her.

Jungkook started to walk towards the door, and he then turned over his shoulder to look at Lisa,

"I have to meet some people, but they can wait. Let us take a tour of the castle," he raised his hand and seeing Lisa not move from where she stood, Jungkook slowly walked towards her, picking up her hand, "What a shy girl you are," and he tugged her out of the room.

The servant man who had joined the maids to look at the King and the girl quickly followed them to speak to Jungkook, "Milord."

Lisa noticed how the servant just spoke a word and didn't dare to speak another word until Jungkook spared a look at the lowly servant, "Your aunt Lady Rosamund is here with her daughter Somi and son Mark."
